gemfibrozil and Arteriosclerosis

gemfibrozil has been researched along with Arteriosclerosis in 39 studies

Arteriosclerosis: Thickening and loss of elasticity of the walls of ARTERIES of all sizes. There are many forms classified by the types of lesions and arteries involved, such as ATHEROSCLEROSIS with fatty lesions in the ARTERIAL INTIMA of medium and large muscular arteries.

" In this study, the area under the curve, maximum plasma concentration, and time to maximum concentration for fluvastatin and gemfibrozil are compared, when used alone and in combination, in patients with hyperlipidemia and either coronary or carotid atherosclerosis, or a family history of coronary artery disease."5.08Pharmacokinetics of the combination of fluvastatin and gemfibrozil. ( Hendricks, L; Khouri, HE; Latchinian, L; Munoz, CE; Spence, JD, 1995)
"Gemfibrozil is an effective and safe drug in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and the high triglyceride-low HDL cholesterol trait."2.67Gemfibrozil treatment of the high triglyceride-low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol trait in men with established atherosclerosis. ( Kastelein, JJ; Knipscheer, HC; Mulder, WJ; Nurmohamed, MT; Plaat, B; Pruijs, HJ; Van den Ende, A, 1994)
"Gemfibrozil was given to 10 patients with evidence of severe atherosclerosis; four similar patients acted as controls."2.65A pilot study of the effect of Gemfibrozil on some haematological parameters. ( Adams, CM; Etherington, MD; Goodland, FC; Middleton, JE; O'Brien, JR; Shuttleworth, RD, 1982)
"The metabolic syndrome is characterized by atherogenic dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides, increased small dense low-density lipoproteins, and decreased high-density lipoproteins), hypertension, insulin resistance and obesity."2.41Treatment of dyslipoproteinemia in the metabolic syndrome. ( Fenselau, S; Schrezenmeir, J; Steinmetz, A, 2001)
"Gemfibrozil has been shown to have beneficial effects in the primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerosis."1.31Effect of gemfibrozil on peripheral atherosclerosis and platelet activation in a pig model of hyperlipidemia. ( Alfón, J; Badimon, L; Berrozpe, M; Royo, T, 2000)
"A decision to treat hyperlipidemias would be based on the assumption that such disorders lead to accelerated atherogenesis and ultimately to cardiac dysfunction."1.30Lack of left ventricular dysfunction associated with sustained exposure to hyperlipidemia following lung transplantation. ( Kesten, S; Maurer, J; Mayne, L; Scavuzzo, M, 1997)
"Terbutaline has also been reported to raise HDL cholesterol."1.27Nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic alteration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol: therapeutic approaches to prevention of atherosclerosis. ( Glueck, CJ, 1985)
"Probucol has a sustained effect, additive to that of a lipid-lowering diet; it can reduce total serum cholesterol and cause xanthoma regression even in patients with receptor-defective homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia."1.27Medical management of hyperlipidemia and the role of probucol.
